Diamond are also known as allotrope of carbon. reason being is because where there carbon atoms are arranged they form a variation of " face-centered cubic" crystal structure. a diamond is less stable then graphite, but a conversion rate of a diamond is negligible at ambient conditions compared to graphite.
HARDNESS the hardness of a diamond is 10. that is the hardest on the scale
COLORS the diamonds color is ultraviolet wavelength of 225 nanometers, which means that the pure diamond should transmit visible light and it will appear as a colorless light.
LUSTER the luster is adamantine
STREAK the diamonds streak is white
CLEAVAGE all the sides of the diamond are octahedral, it exhibits poor or no cleavage
FACTURE conchoidal
DENSITY the density of a diamond is 3.51
The diamond is said to be found everywhere but europe, but mostly found in australia or south africa. one of the most surprising areas to find diamonds are in canada and north america. here are other areas to be found in, India, sub-Saharan Africa, Brazil,Siberia and Australia.
The diamond is mostly used for jewelry like necklaces, bracelettes, rings etc. but diamonds are also used for industry
diamonds formed thousands of years ago with extreme heat and pressure. this extreme heat and pressure transformed the carbon into crystals and turned it colorless, and even though diamonds formed deep into earth the volcanic activity brought them up to surface.
